Fun at the museum

Brent and I took Anna to the Hands On Kids Museum in Ann Arbor on Saturday. She loved it!! The drive took about 40 minutes to get there. It was really worth the trip. The museum is fun and full of hands-on science and learning activities for kids. The best part was the preschool room, which had all kinds of fun areas for Anna to explore. Some of Anna's favorites were the big foam blocks, the real ambulance, the water table, the play kitchen, and the "scientist" guy who was putting on a display with dry ice. She cannot stop talking about the "moo-seum". She says to us, "Talk about the moo-seum?" We'll talk about something we saw and she will say, "What else, Mommy?" She has such a good memory, so we will be talking about Hands On for weeks to come!

Building with blocks. She told Brent that she wanted to build a snowman.

Anna the ambulance driver.

Checking out the exhibits with Mommy.

At the water table with Daddy. She looked so cute in that little jacket to keep her clothes dry.

She loved the water table!

"Should I crawl through there?" (Nope! She decided just to look.)

Taking time out to read a book.

Working hard in the pretend kitchen.

The snow continued here this weekend. At least the last few days haven't been as cold as it was last week. We stayed in most of last week and enjoyed being home. We played, did a couple of fun craft projects, and baked a cake. Anna has helped me a few times in the kitchen lately. She loves to sit on the counter and help with the ingredients. Here she is helping decorate our cake and doing a little taste testing. :)


Tonight we ordered pizza and watched the Super Bowl. Anna cheered along and said "Go Bears!" and "Go Notre Dame!". At least the girl knows her teams!

Tomorrow I have a check-up with my OB for the baby. 23 weeks along already!

Hope everyone has a happy week!
